Mark Rodger – Borden Ladner Gervais LLP

The full-spectrum power practice at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP combines a dominant regulatory offering with strong skill sets in transactional and contentious energy work. Drawing on specialists across the country, the national group acts for a comprehensive mix of government entities, electrical utilities, power developers, lenders and equity investors across conventional, renewable and nuclear power matters. Toronto-based John Vellone fronts the energy, resources and renewables department and strikes a balance between regulatory and transactional work; he recently acted alongside transactional partner Rob Blackstein (Toronto) to advise Northland Power on the acquisition, development, construction and financing of the C$750m Oneida battery storage project. Other key contacts in Toronto include Shane Freitag, who chairs the power area and is recommended for transactional work, and regulatory specialist Mark Rodger. In Calgary, Jonathan Liteplo is a go-to power regulation practitioner, while regional managing partner Alan Ross KC is sought after for his broad energy regulation expertise, which spans electricity, renewables, and oil and gas.
